The painting boat docked on the wharf, and after combing and sending people to go through various procedures, he took Lin Qi and others into the second most prosperous capital of the Dahua Dynasty.
The red stone brick road, neat and bright, row upon row, the years have not left too many traces on its body, on both sides of the street, there are many shops, there are high pavilions and cornices everywhere, crystal glazed tiles, the sun is sprinkled, the bright ** people, to the bustling capital in front of you, add a bit of brilliance and poetry.
On the street, crowded with people, people come and go, there is another BMW incense car, endlessly, the dragon title treasure covers the sunrise, the phoenix spits the tassel with the sunset, such a prosperous scene, Lin Qi Yingli has walked through so many places, and has never felt it.
Several people were dazzled, and they had long been immersed in the prosperity of Emperor Wu City.
Firefly sniffed her nose and suddenly said, "It's so fragrant!"
Soon after noon, the inn wine shop, the small shop, are busy with their own work, all kinds of aromas come out, people don't know what to choose.
"You're all hungry, let's go get something to eat first, and then find a place to invest in the store." ”
Miss Comb changed into a white plain dress today, which seems simple, but the texture and poke flowers are quite exquisite, subtle, and solemn.
For this proposal, everyone naturally applauded, but as for what to eat, it made it difficult for combing for a while.
The little girl is naturally delicious, Lin Qi can eat anything, of course the finch is her own young lady's horse, and she eats whatever the young lady eats, none of the three of them have an opinion, so this errand naturally falls back to the combing body.
Combing is naturally a person who has eaten and seen, delicacies, sweet and salty, fresh and strange, and has also tasted countless things, like her identity, over the years by people invited, but also attended countless banquet scenes, but the size of Emperor Wu's city, also made combing unable to decide for a while.
"Let's go, let's go, it's said that Saixiangju has a lively look!"
"I don't see you once in a few years!"
At this moment, a group of people suddenly walked past the four of them, shouting something in their mouths, and their faces were elated, and it seemed that something was going on in front of them.
"Zhai Xiangju, the vegetarian food there is indeed first-class!" such an episode gave the combing an idea.
Because the Buddhism around Wudi City is thriving, all large and small Buddhist sects are lined up, and vegetarian food is popular in Wudi City for a while, although Buddhism is pure, not greedy for appetite, but the tea and fresh water in the temple are naturally not as good as all kinds of elaborate meals and pastries in the market, which also attracts many Buddhist disciples, there are many shops, and they are also proud to attract more Buddhist disciples to eat in the store.
And this Zhai Xiangju is the best among them.
Naturally, everyone will not reject vegetarian fasting, and they hit it off immediately, and they can have a lively look, so there is no reason not to go.
Emperor Wu City is vast, but this Zhai Xiangju is not far away, turn the corner of the street, and also make a cup of tea, everyone came to the door of Zhai Xiangju, here three layers outside the three floors, surrounded by the crowd of onlookers a sturdy, and before the crowd, the door of Zhai Xiangju, then set up two high rings, one side for the east, the other for the west, the ring on each placed a huge similar to the steamer-like utensils, above the utensils, full of white bowls, stacked like a hill.
Around the utensils, there are many people around the edge of the table, are immersed in eating, in the bowl is noodles, one by one crystal clear, thin and continuous, from a distance, as if a handicraft.
"What does this mean, big brother?" the finch pulled a spectator to the side.
"Sister, you don't know, this is Zhai Xiangju's solicitation activity, the king of food and the king of food competition, you see that the pillar of incense on the high platform is not, to the extent that the pillar of incense is burned out, whoever can eat more noodles can get the first place in each ring, the first place in the two rings will be the final decisive victory at noon, who can win, will get the luxury gift provided by Zhai Xiangju!"
Que'er simply told everyone about it, and several people said that they were very curious, and looked at the bowls of clear and crystal dragon's whisker-like noodles, and said: "This should be Zhai Xiangju's Qingfeng Dragon Beard Noodles, although there is no soup stock, but it is still full of flavor, it is their unique job, it seems that this time, Zhai Xiangju's capital is very large." ”
Hearing this, Firefly was already a little eager to try.
"Xiao Qi, I want to participate, I want to participate!"
Lin Qi nodded with a smile and said, "Go ahead, pay attention, don't choke!"
With a snort, one turned over and jumped on the west, and sat down in an empty seat to eat, but was stopped by a person who looked like a staff member.
"This young lady, have you paid your entry fee?"
"Entry fee?"
Firefly frowned, and turned back to look for Lin Qi with a pleading face, but Lin Qi had no choice but to squeeze through the crowd and walk to the front.
"How much does it cost?"
"Ten taels of silver!"
"So expensive!" Lin Qi was slightly taken aback, although this Zhai Xiangju heard that it was one of the best vegetarian shops, but ten taels of silver was not a small amount, an ordinary family of three, ten taels of silver could provide them with comfort for several years.
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, everything here is first-class food, and the rewards for winning the competition are extremely rich, and it's definitely worth the money. ”
That being said, if a person can't eat much, I'm afraid he won't even be able to make up for the ten taels of silver.
Looking at the little girl's expectant look, Lin Qi didn't want to sweep away her interest, just ten taels of silver, for them, although they can take it out, but after all, they are out of the house, and there are a lot of places to use money, so they should plan carefully.
At this time, the finch squeezed through the crowd and handed Lin Qi ten taels of silver.
"Give, Miss gave it, she said that it was not easy to come once, and she couldn't sweep away Sister Firefly's interest, eat more and eat less, just to have a good time. ”
Hearing this, Lin Qi suddenly laughed, the laughing finch was a little inexplicable, he took the silver, threw it to the staff casually, and then turned around and walked into the crowd with the finch Que'er, seeing that Lin Qi had paid, Firefly was very happy, and before the staff could speak, he had already turned around and started to fight with the noodles in front of him.
Firefly pears pick up a bowl, pick up the noodles and inhale them into the mouth, only to feel that the noodles are fragrant and delicious, not salty or light, all kinds of flavors into the mouth, absolutely worthy of the word delicious, although the noodles are thin, but very strong, after biting, the noodles can still bounce up in the mouth, the taste is excellent.
A bowl of belly, firefly appetite, immediately put down the chopsticks, lick the mouth, everyone saw it, and thought that this little girl had eaten enough, and immediately felt sorry for their ten taels of silver, but at this time, they found that the girl suddenly picked up the bowl again, and poured it directly into her mouth!
Although a white bowl can hold a fist-sized dough, but once put in the mouth, it is not something that ordinary people can chew thoroughly, but this little girl doesn't seem to care, and swallows it after dividing it by two.
In the crowd, everyone was stunned, even the comb and the finch were frightened by the super bold way of eating fireflies, only Lin Qi beside him looked calm, as if he had already foreseen it, he curled up his hands and put them to his mouth, and was shouting loudly.
"Girl, chew slowly, chew slowly, don't choke!"
The girl who heard his words nodded, only chewed two more bites, and swallowed again.
Such a beautiful girl, eating so boldly, but not destroying the beauty at all, everyone really unheard of, never seen, not long after, many people began to cheer for the firefly together.
Lin Qi smiled, knowing that the first place in the West Ring should not be left behind, so he looked back in the direction of the East Fight, but this look, he happened to find two acquaintances.
